WON'T YOU BE OUR NEIGHBOUR?
Book Launch for Stan Rogal's There Goes the Neighbourhood > AUGUST 29
Frontenac House and Type Books invite you to celebrate the Toronto launch of a fantastic new collection of short fiction, There Goes the Neighbourhood, from the esteemed and always entertaining Stan Rogal.
Have you ever wondered what your neighbours are really up to? Stan Rogal has not just spent a lot of time considering the secret and not-so-secret lives of his neighbours, but he has written a collection of ten dark-humoured short stories about it. A young couple is chastised by neighbours for fencing in their back garden. An older couple is offered a chance to earn money by shooting a porn video in their basement. An old voyeur spies on the actions of a mail deliverer. All accumulate into a short story collection with echoes of Rod Serling, Julio Cortazar, and Franz Kafka.
